A very good Merzbow song though.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 35 points 1 week ago

I had a collection of their music videos on VHS too.

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 26 points 1 week ago

They were bad, but they made all the other bands sound great!

[–] dbtng@eviltoast.org 20 points 1 week ago

This was the good kind. The gear moved the head cleaner back and forth like a brush.

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Got their CD when it first came out. The weirdest track ran along a ring of little brush tufts coming out of the CD surface. This band had some serious experimentalism happening.

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

From what I recall Play Both Sides was their only album, but virtually everyone had a copy so they must have been pretty good!

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's what you get from a one-hit-wonder. One Album tops and that's it.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

And even now they don't get that. You listen to that one song that you kinda like then their album flops.

[–] EffortlessEffluvium@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

I think the leader started another group called Head Demagnetizer. Really loud, too!

[–] Redfox8@mander.xyz 12 points 1 week ago

The hidden tracks were the best!

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago

That was my nickname in college

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

That’s the cheap kind that ruined your heads. The good head cleaner had a little hole near the spool to drip isopropyl alcohol onto the cleaning tape.

[–] KaRunChiy@fedia.io 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

IMO these are terrible, a qtip and some ipa work wonders. These usually cawe with some kind of ipa or acetone concoction that was way too aggressive and could damage your heads. Learned that the hard way

[–] Halosheep@lemm.ee 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Why would you use beer to clean something? Strange.

[–] KaRunChiy@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago

Isopropyl alcohol LMAO

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lol. Pretty sure they meant IA. Not sure isopropyl is supposed to be shortened to two letters.

[–] clubb@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I’ve always heard and seen it as ipa, probably because ia is too short, and could be misinterpreted.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I used stout, it worked fine.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago

Oh don't get me started... they started their debut on Floppy Diskettes.

[–] SandmanXC@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Shampoo branding was wild in the 90s

[–] DFX4509B_2@lemmy.org 6 points 1 week ago

Head Cleaner unironically sounds like something a group really would've called themselves.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 6 points 1 week ago

Oh yes, this is one of the places you can post it where people will remember what it is.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"How the hell am I supposed to clean my head with this?"

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You stick it in one of the little toothy holes. It's a "ribbed for your pleasure" kind of deal.

[–] CentauriBeau@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

VCR Head Cleaner is great, but you’ve got to get it from the adult shop. Definitely get you open to bangin’ tunes!

[–] RaptorBenn@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Wouldn't the band be "Play Both Sides", shotgun/dibs/etc., and the album called "Head Cleaner"?

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 4 points 1 week ago

You gotta sniff the bottle to hear the album.

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago

Kind of sucks that my Commodore 1541 floppy drive (5.25" floppies) is giving me read/write errors, and I have no idea where I put my head cleaner floppy long ago. (Have to rely on SD2IEC on my Commodore 64, and it's not compatible with some turbo loaders or other programs that do weird drive magic.) And, of course, while I might run into head cleaner tapes on specialty shops, good luck running into 5.25" cleaner floppies these days.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

These things suck ass. Just use a cotton swab.
